he stated definitively that it, in his professional opinion, the body had first been exposed to insects between the 16-18 of Feb.

The beetle info establishes the no-earlier-than date. The fly development also does this. Since only one generation of flies, he can determine where in their 23-24 day life cycle they are, and further pin down the date.

This guy is very well versed in using different bugs to more precisely pin down times. Quite a clever process.

But again, even after cross, re-direct and so on, stands by his professional opinion of 16-18 Feb for a dump date. In case you missed it.
